Indeed. The ASM-1 schematics are done that way, and a few others. I haven't
done much Postscript hacking lately thought. I still lack a good schematic tool
but I've found gEDA to be the most usefull so far, but still has a bit to go.

The way that my Postscript schematics are done is however a bit interesting,
since in the library each component leaves the X,Y pair of each pin on the
Stack, and in practice I ask for the component to be drawn from a position
with a specified pin in which direction from the given position. In the end, I
cook up only a few absolute positions and then all the rest are relative
positions. This allows me to do many adjustments without having to hack the
absolute positions for half the schematics again.

So, much of the magic is in that library. ;O)

A side-effect is that the PDFs is really, really tiny while they look good.

Cheers,
Magnus
